Ok, you stroke a chord with that word! For me, synergy is probably one of the most fascinating thing about cannabis!These are the hybrids i have in mind i am about synergy I've put immense amount of thought into these combos and have changed the list 1000's of times..
I'm going to go off on a tangent for a bit. Few years ago I was fascinated about perfumes. There are commercial synthetic ones, called 'designer perfumes' because they're usually manufactured by clothing designing companies (like Tom Ford) and then, there's the rest of perfumes like 'niche' and 'artisanal'. The latter is basically the best category, perfumes made by very talented people from the best natural ingredients (some of which are coincidentally found in the same geographical area of the best NLDs, South East Asia).
Usually a trained nose could identify most of the time, most of the ingredients used in the mixture. An 'accord' is defined as being many individuals scents that mix into a completely different and new scent. What is considered to be a 'perfect accord' is when the scents combine in such a manner to the point of the new scent that has been created is so well blended and far from the original ingredients and so unique that even a trained nose could not recognise the ingredients used. That to me would be 'synergistic'.
I think this resembles quite a bit with cannabis, in terms of blending genepools. There are crosses where you can easily identify each trait and figure out which parent or grandparent that particular trait comes from. But every once in a while magic happens, you get this synergistic blend that creates a progeny or a phenotype that is utterly unique and sometimes you can't even recognise the parents' trait, not only that but the progeny is better than each of the parents! Those are the special ones. And just like in perfumery, those synergistic blends don't really happen because of the talent of the breeder, but it's sheer luck most of the time!
I just wanted to make sure we're on the same page. Is this the kind of synergy you're talking about? Or you had a different sense of the word in mind?
